TOBACCO-PIPE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 486,296, dated November15, 1892.

Application tiled March 9. 1892. Serial No. 424.297. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, IGNATZ PEOETNER, of the city, county, and State ot'NewYork, have invented a new and Improved Tobacco-Pipe, of which thefollowing is a full,clear, and exact description.

The invention relates to tobacco-smoking pipes having a bowl andstemmade of corncob-such, for instance, as are shown in Letters Patentof the United States No. 419,348, g'zgited to me under date of January14,

The object of the present invention is to provide a new and improvedtobacco-pipe which is simple and durable in construction, not liable toseparate in its several parts, and arranged to prevent rapid burning outof the bowl. t v

The invention consists of certain parts and details and combinations, aswill be hereinafter described, and then pointed out in the claims.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forminga part ofthis specification, in which similar letters of reference indicatecorresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure l is a plan view of the improvement. Fig. 2 is a longitudinalsection of the same on the line 2 2 of Fig. l. Fig. 3 is a sectionalplan view ot the same on the line 3 3 of Fig. 2, and Fig. 4 is atransverse section of the stern on the line 4 4 of Fig. 2.

The improved tobacco-smoking pipe is provided with a bowl A, made ofcorncob from which the pith has been removed by boring out the cob, aswill be plainly seen by reference to Fig. 2. The opening in the bowl Ais usually made conical, and in its bottom is driven a plug B,preferably of wood or other hard substance, so as to prevent a rapidburning out of the pipe.

In the top of the plug B, preferably arranged centrally therein, isformed an opening C, leading to the stem-opening D, formed in the coreE, made of wood or other suitable hard material, and passing through thestem F, made of corncob, and bored out to receive the core E. The innerend E of the core E is provided with an external screw-thread, screwinginto one side of the plug B, so that the stem-opening D registers withthe opening C.

The inner end of the stem F abuts against one side of the plug B tolimit the inward screwing motion of the core E. The outer end of thecore is flush with the stem F, and in this end is arranged an innerscrewthread E2, engaged by a screw-thread formed in the mouthpiece G, ofany approved construction.

In manufacturing the pipe the plug B may be secured in the bowl A bycementing, glu-- ing, or otherwise fastening the said plug in the lowerend of the bowl, and in a like manner the core E may be attached to thestem F. It will be seen that by this construction the several parts ofthe pipe are securely united and are not liable to separate, and,furthermore, the bowl A is not liable to burn out quickly on account ofthe hard material plug B, forming the bottom for the bowl A. It willfurther be seen that such a corncob pipe is very ornamental inappearance 'and can be very cheaply manufactured.

Having thus fully described my invention, I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patentl. In a tobacco-smoking pipe of the classdescribed, a corncob bowl having an opening in one side'and a plugformed of a suitable hard material and attached in thesaid bowl to forma bottom for the same, the said plug being formed with a threadedaperture opening into the bowl and registering with the opening in theside of the bowl, in combination with a stern made of corncob andfitting into the side opening of the said bowl and a core held in thesaid stem and projecting at the inner end of the same, the projectingend being threaded to engage the threaded aperture in the plug,substantially as shown and described.

2. A tobacco-smoking pipe comprising a corncob bowl formed in one sidewith an opening, a plug formed of a suitable hard IOO ting against thestem, substantially as described.
